I guess it'd make sense that a lot of celebrities would like Pokemon. xD But it's still surprising to sort of acknowledge!

The Rock has shown interest in Pokemon himself. Not so much as wanting to voice characters or anything, but some of his kids I believe have and he knows about it. Dressed as a Pikachu for one I think if I remember right. So he's familiar with it for sure.

Honestly I'm one against having Danny DeVito as Pikachu. I reeeeeeeaaaaally don't think it would fit or go over too well. I can TOTALLY imagine The Rock voicing Pikachu. Would totally fit too with how he acts around the ladies (The Pikachu and Rock both) especially with that smile he has. I don't see Mark Whalberg doing very well for his voice....buuuuut Ryan Reynolds could work too! Just like he did for Deadpool. Hugh Jackman......no xD.
